I don't know of any macro software for linux, a google search led me to this:

You could probably script it all in python using a library like this to send keyboard + mouse events http://python-evdev.readthedocs.org/en/latest/ It can be made way better and more complicated, though. For instance, you could check whether windows are minimized or not, and also check their size, position, etc. Don't know much about doing that, though. I assume it would be different for each DE and probably each window manager. |

This looks exactly like what I want. NOTE that it is an X11 (X-windows) tool suite, and "X11" is what is underneath X-Windows System description ... and ... The X-Open Group most of the desktop screen behaviors. I say, "most" because recent efforts see X11 and antique because it is client-server which limits performance and extreme fancy display things. This means that some of the modern desktop environment actions and behaviors might not play nicely... ... but they might. Hurray! I'll report on my progress. Has anyone got practical experience with GNU Xnee? Many MANY THANKS, orasis and boogerballs, ~~~ 0;-Dan |
